i held it in my mind, but i repeated this a few times trying to add more feeling to it each time, and then i felt sudden acceleration. the motion persisted for a few moments, i continued to keep my eyes closed, and i tried to envision moving over ocean. my destination is actually 3792 miles away from me across the ocean. i also tried to visualize the place i was trying to get to, but ive never been there or seen pictures of it so that wasnt working for me.

I wouldn't classify this as a failure You actually started moving and so you know that you have some results from your technique. Perhaps you should try to not think in physical terms, like how far away this place is, and the ocean between you and all of that jazz. The truth is that we cannot (I can't, anyway) measure distance in the other dimensions, (there might not be such a thing as distance) and so I could see how maybe this physical aspect could be hindering you. Its like a syntax error for your obe-self, kind of like how I can't fly because of gravity that doesn't exist but is still weighing me down.

It also seems like you have two things in mind: a location, and a person. Try and concentrate on whichever you have a stronger connection with. If you don't know this place, or have never been there, then maybe just focus on the person? I have met people with whom I am connected to during obes, but the meetings do not correspond to where we are in the physical world (because we are both in the Astral).

I think that you'll be there in no time Jenn Lynn, you've had better results than me with long-distance travels so far!

It sounds scary about the tornado though... I wouldn't want to be in the middle of that!
